In a public meeting of the municipal executive, Livre's proposal for increased road safety and the eradication of serious and fatal road accidents in the capital was approved with votes against from the PSD/CDS-PP leadership (which governs without an absolute majority) and with votes in favour from all opposition councillors, namely PS, PCP, BE, Livre and Cidadãos Por Lisboa (elected by the PS/Livre coalition).

When presenting the proposal, Livre councillor Patrícia Gonçalves said that there is a "very real" road safety problem in the city and indicated that "2024 was a dark year on the streets and avenues of Lisbon, with several people being run over, which resulted in serious injuries and deaths".

Patrícia Gonçalves highlighted the fatal accident that occurred on December 21, 2024, on Avenida da Índia, which took the life of "yet another person" who was cycling in the capital, in this case, Pedro Sobral, president of the Portuguese Association of Publishers and Booksellers (APEL).

Following this event, the demonstration "Safe Road for All!" was held on January 12 and a petition was launched for the "urgent creation of a cycle path on Avenida da Índia, which continuously and safely connects the Algés and Alcântara cycle paths".

The motion by Livre urges the mayor, Carlos Moedas (PSD), and his vice-president with the Mobility portfolio, Anacoreta Correia (CDS-PP), to comply with the resolutions approved in this 2021-2025 term, on Livre's proposal, regarding the increase in road safety in the municipality of Lisbon, including on Avenida da Índia and in other places where serious and fatal accidents have been recorded.

Another point of the motion is to urge the Government, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the parties with seats in parliament to "legislate the reduction of the maximum speed within towns on road segments with pedestrian crossings to 30 km/h (kilometres per hour), to reduce the number of serious and fatal road accidents".

Livre suggests reviewing the Traffic Code, with a view to reducing speeds in urban areas and within towns and providing absolute protection for vulnerable road users; review of the Traffic Sign Regulations; creation of a National Road Safety Fund; and legislation to "provide municipalities with instruments to, following the example of other European cities, install in urban areas solutions for the automatic control and monitoring of speeding, failure to respect traffic lights and violations of public transport corridors and the cycle path network".

The motion also calls for the National Road Safety Authority (ANSR) to reinforce the sharing of information on serious and fatal road accidents with municipalities and the general public, and to direct awareness campaigns towards holding drivers accountable and protecting vulnerable road users.
